From the Back Cover

Quickly acquire the knowledge and skills you need to confidently administer, score, and interpret the WISC®–IV

Essentials of WISC®–IV Assessment, Second Edition applies a new, expanded theory–based approach to interpreting the latest edition of the WISC® and provides beginning and seasoned clinicians with comprehensive step–by–step guidelines to administering, scoring, and interpreting this latest revision of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children®.

Like all the volumes in the Essentials of Psychological Assessment series, this book is designed to help busy mental health professionals quickly acquire the knowledge and skills they need to make optimal use of a major psychological assessment instrument. Each concise chapter features numerous callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points, and extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions that help you gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information covered.

The Second Edition also includes a CD–ROM containing user–friendly software that automates the now expanded, theory–based interpretive system for the WISC®–IV. In addition, the Second Edition addresses the utility of the general ability and cognitive proficiency indices; includes newly available research on ethnic differences; updates information on the use of the WISC®–IV with clinical populations; includes a new chapter by George McClosky with comprehensive coverage of the WISC®–IV Integrated; and includes a new case report that integrates response to intervention and cognitive assessment for SLD diagnosis.

Fully updated and revised with the latest research findings published since the first edition, Essentials of WISC®–IV Assessment, Second Edition provides students and practitioners with an unparalleled resource for learning and application, including expert assessment of the test′s relative strengths and weaknesses, valuable advice on its clinical applications, and illuminating case reports.

WISC-IV essentials 31 May 2010
By ruta
Format:Paperback
This book provides a detailed account of how to administer, score, interpret and write up a WISC report in a user friendly way. I have found it very useful as it gives more information than the WISC interpretive manual does, especially if an index is not interpretable. The CD is beneficial as a way to check that you have scored the assessment correctly, however I found that the appendix that are provided on the CD might have been more useful in the book as I am not always near a computer when scoring/interpreting. Have ended up printing them out and storing them in the book. Other than this a highly recommended book!

Outstanding contribution; must for Wechsler users 6 Jan 2005
By Corey James - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is a terrific book -- it provides a lot of information on how to administer and score the WISC-IV. It has the same innovative approaches Kaufman has used in previous books on earlier Wechsler tests -- new ideas on interpretation and scoring that make sense. With the added viewpoint provided by Flanagan, a specialist in the cross-battery assessment, this book is a merging of two interesting approaches; unique project by two top psychologists in their prime.

Straightforward and easy to use, but lacked on the interpretation details 17 May 2007
By A. Nguyen - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a fan of these sorts of texts having found the Essentials of the WAIS-III a great resource I keep returning too. I imagine it will be the same with this text as I found it really easy to use and easy to read. Perhaps my only complaint is that there is little discussion about interpretation. Otherwise a great resource in scoring up your WISC-IV.
